“There is a strange taboo in our society against ending something merely because it is not pleasant-- life, love, a conversation, you name it, the etiquette is that you must begin in ignorance & persevere in the face of knowledge, & though I naturally believe that this is profoundly wrong it's not nice to go around constantly offending people.”
― Helen DeWitt, The Last Samurai

― Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
